HydraPaper is a wallpaper manager, specifically designed to work around the lack of functionality of many desktop environments to set a different wallpaper for each monitor in a multi monitor setup. It accomplishes this by scaling and merging different wallpapers into a single one and setting it as spanned.
It currently supports various desktop environments, including GNOME, MATE, Cinnamon and Budgie. Experimental support is included for the sway window manager.

I agree with hopelessdecoy, this would make a better default for Mint. It just does what I want it to.
Works for me and does an amazing job, Mint should think of making this it's default wallpaper engine :)
The only thing that would make this app better would be adding an option that allows the user to randomly change the wallpaper on each monitor at a specified time interval.
Just to say that it works fine with Linux Mint MATE 20 with images stored in default "picture" folder. Thanks! :)
As mention a good idea but can't add an additional folder like usr/share/backgrounds. The add screen does not list this folder to choose from. Using Mint 19.3 with Cinnamon 4.4.8. But does the basic job I wanted, but with pictures in the pictures folder only.
A very good idea but unfortunately, it isn't compatible with Linux Mint Mate. Tried it in Ubuntu 18.04 which is Gnome 3 and it screwed the entire system up. Assuming it is compatible, it isn't very friendly with Gnome 2 or 3. Perhaps some lessons could be learnt from KDE.
